It's $97.75 for all four days if you buy from ticketmaster and $100 at the door; They also have other membership packages if you don't want all four days.

My friends and I might go Friday and/or Saturday and maybe monday.

I'm pretty sure all the prices are on the website.

Hey Whisper. There was 1 slider bundle left at the Stone Mountain Target on Monday for $44. It may have dropped by now. I decided to use my Wal-Mart gift card to get the full GH:WT band kit, because I really wanted the drums, anyway.

Cool I'll have to run by there. Thanks.

One of the Les Paul guitars from my bundle stopped working (Green and Red buttons stopped functioning) so I ended up exchanging it at my local Target in Cobb County (Johnson Ferry / Roswell Location). Is this normal or was it a weird fluke b/c I was under the impression that these guitars were higher quality.

At any rate... to my suprise, the Target location mentioned has a TON Guitar Hero Bundles (both versions for XBOX 360) marked down to $22.48 so grab them while its hot, I counted at least 15 boxes. Barely any PS3 ones so I wouldn't bother making the trip if you're going for that.

Hey, my girl bought me rockband 2. If I buy rockband 1, can I import those songs?

I have 6 Les Pauls and never had an issue with buttons stop functioning. I do have one that came out of the box with a subpar strum bar, but I got it for $7 and there was nothing to exchange it for, so I kept it anyway. That said, I've heard of some issues a lot time ago with the neck having issues due to the connector, but these should have been long resolved. In your case, it was probably more of a fluke than anything.

Good news for more GH bundles....I wonder if I can resist picking up another one, making that 8 Les Pauls! I think I'm probably good though.

Don't bother buying it - rent it or borrow from someone. Within RB1, you can buy a license for $5 and then DL all the tracks to be used in RB2. No need to own RB1.

P.S. - The girlfriend is a keeper!

The Atlantic Stations 2x Les Pauls (360) dropped last Sunday and were gone on Monday. They had about 16 Sunday afternoon.

I know last year some friends of mine went to Dragon*Con for the sole purpose of playing "look at the freaks," and I'm fairly certain they did not register to do so. I'll have to ask how they accomplished this. I haven't been since I was in junior high (which was a long, long time ago).

Is the child molester guy still running it or is he in jail?

Picked up Batman AA at Best Buy. They honered Brandsmarts price$48.88. then gave me the $10 Gift card. It felt good to get a deal on 2 day old game.

Play it. It's a great game.

$100 for admission all four days. Or $35 for friday $50 for Sat, $50 for Sun and I forget what monday is. Pretty steep. But I'm really wanting to meet Bill Corbett. I still dont know if I'm going or not, or if I'll get a one day pass, or all four days or what.

Um... what? And the freaks... could you clarify? I've never been to this thing before, and I'm entirely uncertain now that I want to put any money down that goes to a child molester.

Only reason to buy it would be for Enter Sandman since, due to Metallica signing with Guitar Hero, can't be exported. There's a couple of other ones as well but that's the major one.

http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/g...oid=oid%3A7799 - this one from 2002 really raises some eyebrows about his behavior.

Still hasn't stood trial. From what I read, there's two camps. The one's who support him and claiming the lack of due process and the one's who point out that most of the delays have been because of him. After reading all of this, I'm definitely thinking he's guilty and doing whatever the hell he can to delay the trial.

And he filed a lawsuit against the current director earlier this year -

Okay, so borrow the game, and in the options some where is the 5 dollar license thing thing?

Cool, I appreciate it. And yeah, she's a keeper.

The license thing is found online in the PS3 store/XBOX Live marketplace.

I work at Peachtree Center, so we usually go down once or twice on Friday (i'll be off this year tho, dammit) and watch folks walk back and forth between the Marriott and the Hyatt or Hilton (whichever one is on P'tree, I can't remember). It's like a constant parade of costumes, some incredible, some you wish you could get the image out of your head. Speaking of parades though, I think they do a parade down P'tree on Saturday. So, that may be how your friends have been 'looking at the freaks,' and not actually going inside the conference area??? I know another popular thing is to go down to one of the hotel bars on Friday/Saturday night for a 'viewing.'

Toys R Us near Mall of Georgia (Suwanee, GA) is selling Eye of Judgment (including eye toy & pack of cards) for 19.99 plus tax. Also, they are having buy 1 Wii or DS game and get the 2nd half off.

I went about 3 years ago to "look" with a bunch of friends and got "hooked". Everyone there is really nice and didn't mind having their picture taken with me (most of the costumes you can't tell apart from the real thing). You can go inside the hotels without a badge/paying, just not inside the rooms where panels are going on. If you have kids, having their picture taken with costumed Bobba Fett, Chewbacca (who is 8 feet tall!), Disney Princesses or Master Chief will make their day! Even the celebrities walk around the hotels to see everyone (without bodyguards or entourages).

I was pissed I couldn't get into any of the rooms, so the next year I bought a pass and got "hooked". After that, I never thought twice about going. I've met Lloyd Kaufman (one of my favs, because he does what he wants to do), got drunk with Brad Dourif and tried to pick up chicks with a "he's married, so I'm not ratting him out" celeb.

If your into Sci-Fi, it's a must go. I'm more into the B-movie, Horror, independent film genre, but it was still right up my alley with the countless number of movies (long and short) screenings, Q & A's, Panels,etc. It's also a great place to network and get contacts.

Plus Traci Lords will be there. How cool is that! I've always admired her...."body of work" since I was a kid Not a Trekkie, so don't care too much for Shatner or Nimoy.

if you're going to dragoncon i'd recommend really planning out your day ahead of time. i went with some free passes a couple years ago and just kind of wandered around blindly all day. i think missed out on some good panels. there's a million things to spend more money on, though.

anyway..i've been away from the forum for a long while now, and ofcourse i come crawling back when i need something -_- i think i have long missed this train, but are there any 120gb xbox harddrives still hiding away at any sears? i haven't seen any at the ones i frequent, but it would definitely be worth the drive out to one further away.

the only thing i have to contribute is that the austell target has a ps2 rockband trackpack 2 for 7.** and a couple patapon 2 for 9.**
